THE POSITION
Our roster has an opening with your name on it

We’re looking for passionate technologists, strong communicators, and those with a commitment to continuous improvement. The ideal candidate will have the confidence to propose pragmatic solutions to complex problems and be eager to learn from and educate others. As a Software Engineer (Front End) you will work in empowered, multidisciplinary teams, autonomously tackling complex challenges that provide the very best experiences and products for a growing community of millions of players.

You use technology to solve straightforward problems, seeking input and guidance from team members. You may create or have responsibility to improve or invent small tools or applications. You can take defined design and turn it into code and deliver it on schedule, applying appropriate technologies and current software engineering best practices. You write secure, stable, testable, maintainable code with minimal defects. You are proficient in a broad range of data structures and algorithms, knowing when it is appropriate to use them and when it is not. You make appropriate implementation trade-off decisions. You participate in team design, scoping and prioritization discussions. You seek to learn the business context and technologies behind your team's software. You work effectively with other team members & identify any opportunities/problems arising from technical decisions. You invent, refine and develop your solutions to ensure they are meeting customer needs and team goals. You are a passionate advocate for your customer.

Our Responsible Gaming team's mission is to create a best-in-class regulatory experience for our customers. We do this by working with internal stakeholders and our Regulatory Partners to build scalable, flexible solutions to satisfy regulatory requirements in jurisdictions across the US and Canada. We strive to build internal tools that have clear contracts and are easy to integrate with to enable teams across FanDuel’s portfolio.

THE GAME PLAN
Everyone on our team has a part to play

• You own parts of product and technology & strive to become a subject matter expert. 
• You write simple and extendable code following standards and best practices. You test your code thoroughly.
• I write code that captures the essential nature of the solution and is appropriately flexible, reusable, efficient, and adaptable to changing requirements.
• I ensure high code quality in code reviews. I adopt approaches (e.g. set up best practices and coding standards, help resolve differences of opinions) to foster an effective/collaborative code review culture.
• I am able to independently design software components in well scoped scenarios, with simplicity and maintenance as key considerations. My components are testable, debuggable and have logical APIs that are not easily misused.
• I know when to make significant refactors and when it’s better to leave things as-is.
• You help your team evolve by actively participating in the code review process, design discussions, team planning, and support ticket reviews. 
• You clearly document your software to ensure that future generations of developers understand the intention behind the features and components you build.
• In the event of a problem, you can troubleshoot and thoroughly resolve defects.
• You provide excellent customer support.
• Most importantly, you are humble, pragmatic, self-managed, thirsty for knowledge, never satisfied and always challenging the norm. Responsible for the state of the code you both inherit and produce
